Erik ten Hag won’t survive in the Premier League unless he ditches the Dutch mentality.
Former Chelsea boss and fellow Dutchman Ruud Gullit believes Manchester United boss ten Hag must focus as much on power as technique and tactics as he tries to steady the ship at Old Trafford and revitalise the club.
And the 52-year-old former Ajax coach must move away from the Dutch fascination with playing perfect football. Gullit said: “Erik ten Hag is a good coach but if you come with just a Dutch mentality it is difficult. You have to adapt yourself and understand you don’t win games only with football.
